Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.
  Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.
  Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a workmate, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.
A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new "bookmarks" and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.
  Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the "sticky pieces of paper" for trial use(试用). When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.

D.He worked together with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.

Each year there are an increasing number of cars on roads, as millions of new cars are produced.One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas.Americans couldn’t live without cars!

       Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car.However, some have realized the serious problem caused by cars.The polluted air is harmful and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car.That is what several large car factories, are trying to do.But to build the new car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to replace the car engine with something else.Engineers are working on some new cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases people.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes.Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars.They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike.Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.
